  • Patent number: 11893308
    Abstract: Example techniques involve invoking voice assistance for a media playback system. In some embodiments, a NMD stores in memory a set of command information comprising a listing of playback commands and associated command criteria. The NMD captures a voice input and detects inclusion, within the voice input, of one or more particular playback commands from among the playback commands in the listing. In response, the NMD selects a local voice assistant that supports (a) one or more additional playback commands relative to a cloud-based VAS and (b) fewer non-playback commands relative to the cloud-based VAS, determines, via the local voice assistant, an intent in the captured voice input, and performs a response to the determined intent. The NMD foregoes selection of the cloud-based VAS when the local voice assistant is selected.

  • Patent number: 11893310
    Abstract: Techniques for routing a user command to a speechlet and resolving conflicts between potential speechlets are described. A system determines an intent of an input command. The system also receives context information associated with the input command. The system determines speechlets (e.g., speechlets and/or skills) that may execute with respect to the input command given the intent and the context data. The system then determines whether conditions of routing rules, associated with the speechlets, are satisfied given the context data. If the conditions of only one routing rule are satisfied, the system causes the speechlet associated with the routing rule to execute with respect to the input command. If the conditions of more than one routing rule are satisfied, the system may determine a speechlet to execute with respect to the input command based on the speechlets' priorities in a list of speechlets and/or based on potential output data provided by the speechlets.

  • Patent number: 11893328
    Abstract: This application relates to apparatus and methods for generating, and executing, surrogate models. In some examples, a computing device generates and evaluates correlations between input and output variables for a system to identify highly correlated input and output parameters. In addition, weights for one or more of the parameters may be determined. The computing device identifies a mathematical relationship between input and output variables to generate a physics model. The computing device may also identify other features not captured by the physical relationship that are highly correlated to each other, and generates a feature model that is based on the highly correlated features. The computing device may optimize the feature model based on a culling process that reduces the computational resources required to execute the feature model. The physics model is then combined with the feature model to generate a system output model that can simulate the system.

  • Patent number: 11893336
    Abstract: An IC test engine generates a plurality of two-cycle delay test patterns that target a first set of multicycle faults and/or defects of a fabricated IC chip based on an IC design. Each two-cycle delay test pattern includes a scan-in shift window operating at a test clock frequency, and a capture window with a launch cycle and a capture cycle operating at a functional clock frequency. The IC test engine fault simulates the plurality of two-cycle delay test patterns against a second set of multicycle faults and/or defects in the IC design utilizing sim-shifting, such that a state of the IC design after at least a last two shift clock cycles of a scan-in shift in window of each two-cycle delay test pattern of the plurality of two-cycle delay test patterns are fault simulated to provide two fault initialization cycles for detection of a multicycle delay fault and/or defect.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media that merge separate digital point text objects into a single merged digital text object while preserving the properties and original visual appearance associated with the digital text included therein. For example, the disclosed systems can determine point text character properties associated with the separate digital point text objects (e.g., rotations, baseline shifts, etc.). The disclosed systems can merge the separate digital point text objects into a single merged digital point text object and modify associated font character properties to reflect the determined point text character properties. Further, the disclosed systems can generate an area text object based on the merged digital point text object where the area text object includes the digital text and the font character properties.

    Abstract: Described herein are methods and systems to generate and display interactive graphical user interfaces that receive data inputs from users while emulating a chat session. A server retrieves a set of prompts associated with an electronic form; displays, within a webpage, a first element corresponding to a prompt and a second element having at least one input element configured to receive an input from a user interacting with the webpage. When the user interacts with an input element, the server relocates the first element and dynamically revises the second element by relocating the second element and displaying inputted values received from the user interacting with the at least one input element of the second element. The server then displays a third element comprising next prompts of the electronic form.

  • Patent number: 11893341
    Abstract: A domain-specific language interpreter and live updating visual interface for rapid interactive exploration, filtering, and analysis of a dynamic data set. It includes a multi-line editor that allows a user to enter and edit input on any line at any time, and a grid view display. As the user enters an expression in the multi-line editor, it continually parses and executes the expression with respect to the domain-specific language, recognizing data tags and operations. Each data tag is associated with values for identifiers of the data set, and each operation can be applied to the values. The grid view display updates with a live display of identifiers and result values for the input expression according to the current contents of the multi-line editor user input interface.

    Abstract: It is possible to achieve high analysis accuracy on the whole irrespective of a coverage ratio of a morpheme dictionary. A morpheme prediction section 38 outputs a morpheme label string as a morphological analysis result of input text by inputting a resultant vector generated for each character by a vector combination section 36 into a series predictor and sequentially performing calculation. At this point, there is used the series predictor which is subjected to learning in advance such that a morpheme label string obtained by inputting a resultant vector in which a character vector and a morpheme information vector are combined and which is generated without being combined with the morpheme information vector with a specific probability into the series predictor and sequentially performing the calculation coincides with a morpheme label string of learning data.

    Abstract: Computer implemented methods and systems are provided for generating diverse key phrases while maintaining competitive output quality. A system for training a sequence to sequence (S2S) machine learning model is proposed where neural unlikelihood objective approaches are used at (1) a target token level to discourage the generation of repeating tokens, and (2) a copy token level to avoid copying repetitive tokens from the source text. K-step ahead token prediction approaches are also proposed as an additional mechanism to augment the approach to further enhance the overall diversity of key phrase outputs.
